We had no chart; only a map of the Quebec Central Railroad t had used before. We curried a com- pass, un altimoter for telling altitude and a stutascope for giving speed of rise, or drop. We lt two packages of cigarettes and a box of matches between us. Of course, we couldn't smoke in the balloon, “About $ o'clock that night we de- scended and hitched to a tree, talking from the basket with a man on the ground. He told us we were at ‘Wells, N.
